Negril is a wonderful place
Hi everybody – just returned from our first trip to Jamaica!! It was fabulous. I’ll try to make this report concise and factual for other new people like me – I don’t think the old pros like jtgogo1 need my help! We stayed at Negril Beach Club Condos and were very happy with our accommodations. […]
The Other Side of Tourism – Part 3
Chapter V – LINE-TOURS The phone rang and I picked it up eagerly. It was the receptionist, informing me that ‘Genevieve’ (the Line-tours representative) was waiting for me in the reception area. I was disappointed, but decided that I would find out what was so important, nonetheless. When I passed the receptionist, she intercepted me […]
The Other Side of Tourism – Part 4
Chapter VI – DISREGARDED AND INTRODUCED The next day I went to the Pelican and ordered some lunch. As I entered, I noticed a coach load of people dismounting courtesy buses that had brought them from their respective hotels. They were being guided to the entrance of the Pelican Restaurant. “Thank Goodness I arrived in […]
Negril Beach Club – Part 2
Hello everybody! Hopefully I can provide some info today for those lucky enough to be on their way. One week in Negril is not enough – try to stay longer if you can! Today I will report on our transport, activities and shopping and will try to be brief. We had prearranged for a driver […]
Day out in the country….Mayfield Falls!
It was a spur of the moment decision to take a drive to the country. We were in our first week of a two-week holiday in Jamaica and we were staying in Lucea, a small town about 30 minutes from Negril. Our party was unusually large, but it was also our annual get together in […]
"Second Honeymoon" – Day 4 & 5
Day 4 – Leaving Negril for Montego BayI had set the alarm on my Palm Pilot for 7.30am, but I didn’t need it. I was awoken by rain. I looked outside and the beach was still gorgeous even with rain. We were both yearning for one more day. As usual I headed over to the […]
The Warmth and Spontaneity of the average Jamaican
Spontaneous applause broke out as the British Airways jet carrying my family and I from London touched down on Jamaican soil. It was obvious that many others onboard shared our feelings of happiness at finally making it “back home ah yard”, plus relief on having a safe landing. We could not wait to make it […]
Wa Gwan?
Hey Man! Wah gwan? I’ve been to Jamaica twice now and will be going down again in July 2002. My experiences were very rich and fulfilling both times. My daughter met her fiancé in Minnesota who is a Jamaican and so they brought me down to visit. We did the horseback riding at Chukka Cove. […]
Our scooter trip to Milk River Bath and Spa
Our drive from Alligator Pond to Milk River Bath was along an old road (running along the coast a distance of about 45 km) that is rarely traveled and we only once saw another vehicle during our trip. One side of the road is high rock and an occasional cave and the other side is […]
The Other Side of Tourism – Part 5
Chapter VII – TORMENT ‘PON TORMENT, AND ROOF TOP I had been given a book to read as a present. It was entitled: “Women on Top” by Nancy Friday. I took it out of my knapsack and continued reading it. Erotic undulations radiated out of the book and sent stimulating currents into me. I closed […]
